| Well, I use a leash and collar, a toy and/or treats, a hand for patting in praise, often a dumbell and my very own personal voice to say "gooood" which my dog can easily distinguish from other people's voices. I can vary the pitch and frequency of my voice to stimulate or calm depending upon the work being done. Sort of old fashioned huh?
Clickers do not work in a class situation or where multiple dogs are being trained as they are going off all over the place and do not have a unique sound specific to the dog/handler team. |
